4. Change the incline of the treadmill as desired.
To change the incline of the treadmill, press the
Incline increase or decrease button or one of the
incline buttons numbered 0 through 10. Each time
you press one of the buttons, the treadmill will
gradually adjust to the selected incline setting.
5. Follow your progress with the displays.
The matrix—When
you select the manual
mode, the matrix will
display a track that rep-
resents 1/4 mile (400
meters). As you exer-
cise, the indicators around the track will appear in
succession until the entire track appears. The track
will then disappear and the indicators will again
begin to appear in succession.
The Incline/Calories
display—This dis-
play will show the
approximate number
of calories you have
burned. The display
will also show the incline of the treadmill for a
few seconds each time the incline of the treadmill
changes.
The Time/Pulse dis-
play—This display
will show the elapsed
time. The display will
also show your heart
rate when you use the
handgrip heart rate monitor (see step 6).
The Distance/Speed
display—This display
can show the distance
that you have walked
or run. The display will
also show the speed of
the walking belt for a
few seconds each time the speed changes.
The Center display—This display will show work-
out instructions.
Press the Home button to return to the start mode
(see THE INFORMATION MODE on page 24 to set

ton again.
When an iFit module is
connected to
www.iFit.com, the iFit
symbol near the top of
the display will light.
To reset the displays,
press the Stop button, remove the key, and then
reinsert the key.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Before using
the handgrip
heart rate mon-
itor, remove
the sheets of
plastic from
the metal con-
tacts on the
pulse bar. In
addition, make
sure that your
hands are
clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on the
metal contacts; avoid moving your hands. When
your pulse is detected, several dashes will appear
and then your heart rate will be shown. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, continue to
hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to zero. The
incline must be at zero or you may damage the
treadmill when you fold it to the storage posi-
tion. Next, remove the key from the console and
put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, press
the power switch into the off position and unplug
the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do
this, the treadmill's electrical components may
wear prematurely.
